Murphy bed ideas for small bedrooms

4. Murphy Bed #4: Cupboard Beds with Shelves

When tucked away, wall bed design or folding bed design can look pretty unimpressive. You can elevate the murphy bed design by adding shelves, bookcases or drawers to its flanks. This way, you can make it look like a chic media/storage unit instead of just a boring cupboard in the middle of a room. With the right finishes and design, you can turn a simple wall bed design into a gorgeous Murphy bed with storage.
 

6. Murphy Bed #6: Wall Mounted Bed with Wardrobe

When you live in small spaces, every inch of storage counts. With a Murphy bed with a wardrobe, you can meet all your needs with one design solution. Install shelves into the wall panel behind the bed for some added storage. Or you can add shelving to the back of the bed. Take advantage of the wardrobe-like murphy bed design and extend the cabinetry and shelves laterally. This way, you're taking up only one wall for your closet and bed, leaving ample space in the rest of the room.
 

Space Saving Wall Mounted Bed Solutions
 

1. Combine a guest bedroom into a home office/den.

The guest bedroom doesn't see a lot of use apart from when you have visitors. If you design it just right, the room can double up as your in-house office, den or hobbies room. To make the most of the space available to you, clever design solutions such as Murphy bed with couch, Murphy bed with storage or a desk.

2. Use a murphy wall bed to add an extra bed for child sleepovers.

Reserve a space for your children's besties in your home with a wall mounted murphy bed. With a wall mounted foldable bed, you save a ton of space that can be put to other use when the bed is put away. On the flip side, when the little ones have their guests, you don't need to worry about arranging bedding for them every time. You can also opt for a wall bed with a sofa for additional seating in the room.

3. Create a closet guest room with a space-saving wall mounted bed.

When you're working with smaller houses, you may not have the option of a dedicated guest room. This is when you can get creative with the "half rooms", such as walk-in closets, pantries, and sunrooms. Add a "cabinet" to your shelving to house a wall bed in these rooms. A single murphy bed might be a better option in narrower rooms. 

4. Add a Murphy Bed to a Finished Basement.

It's good to have some extra bedding on a rainy day. With a space saving bed or roll away bed, you are always ready to welcome your loved ones into your home. If you don't have a guest room, you can turn your basement into a multifunctional room with a space-saving wall mounted bed. Shifting your guest room to your basement will give your guests added privacy and quiet. Choose a Murphy bed with a sofa or a Murphy bed with a wardrobe to keep the space functional when you don't have anyone over.

5. Put a Murphy bed in your dining room so that it doubles as a guest bedroom/home office.

In apartments, you may have extra space around the kitchen / dining area but not an entire guest room. Take advantage of this space with a wall mounted folding bed. Opt for a wall mounted bed with a sofa or desk to make the most of it. Such multifunctional spaces will see use year-round. 

6. Opt for a Horizontal Murphy Bed instead of a vertical one.

You can't always fit a full-size murphy wall bed in small, narrow spaces. Instead of a vertical wall attached bed, opt for one mounted horizontally. It will take up much less floor space and much less wall space. Horizontal murphy beds work well in rooms with low ceilings as well and are a better option for kids and shorter people. 

Murphy Bed Dimensions & Sizes

Murphy bed and all its variations are available in all the standard sizes. Since it is a cabinet bed, you need to consider the size of the cabinet and the bed. If you install it vertically, you must also account for the ceiling height and leave space for lights and fans.
